Alright faggots.
**ASK A PLUMBER ANYTHING**
If you ask the right question you may get some very interesting greentexts.
If you ask a new question you will get new greentexts.
Also general plumbing advice.
If you appreciated the advice you were given, reward me with tits.
I like tits.
Have you ever had a face full of shit?
Mate, more times than I'd fucking care to remember.
I think the closest I came to swallowing an utter shitstorm was this day me and the old man were clearing a blocked sewer on a backyard that was on a steep incline of almost backslash gradings.
He was up the top, he was 10 cables down the sewer line, and was shouting at me to "Yell out when I saw it was clear".
Well first thing I heard was a minor rumble, didn't see much.
Next was a bit of a watery sound, still saw nothing.
Then heard this "WHOOMP" and jumped out of the way *just* in time.
Shitty sewer water was FUCKING FLYING out of this pipe, straight up in the air like water out of a whale's spout!
And it came ***THIS*** fucking close to hitting me right in the face.
Under the pressure, chances are I would have swallowed the lot if I hadn't moved quickly enough.

Why do you guys insist on showing off your ass cracks?
It's not something we actually insist on, it's just the way the fucking pants are designed.
Now matter how tight you fit your belt, every time you bend over your knees drag on the leg of your pants and pull down the crack area.

You idiot.
Head pressure is entirely relevant to litreage.
Get an education and return you fucking pot smoking hillbilly.
What is a pitched angle not to severe to allow hard waste to move to the main line? Oh that's right. You're a roo fucking abofaggot trying to amuse yuropoor children with obvious fake tales.
Try harder before spewing bullshit.
Look, women in general have a plumber fetish, but the problem is this.
Like when us men think of the word "lesbian" we're imagining those two hot bitches in porn fingerbanging the shit out of each other. We are not thinking of that fat sweaty truck driving bulldyke in flannel.
In the same way, when women say they like plumbers, they're thinking of the tall muscular dudes with hot bodies, not the short fat mario brothers like myself.
The pitched angle is designed for maximum movement in order to avoid siphonage.
Maybe when you're a plumber you can fucking talk on my level you little bitch.
You're not even an apprentice. Fuck off faggot.
Head pressure? What pump? Are you retarded for leaving a pump on? Oh yeah, no sewage pump in a residential or even commercial setting would have that kind of unnecessary head that would be a violation of IBCR and IBCC.
Fucking potato troll.
The toilet in my apartment was installed incorrectly, and rocks back and forth. I stripped the sealant as best I could, put in some spacers and resealed it, but after a while the sealant came loose and the spacers started to get pushed out. Any suggestions? Should I try it again, but use more sealant?
Should I bother cutting into my pipes and shoving flow valves in there?
I live Ina shitty old house and have to turn the entire water off just to replace a tap. I know adding isolaters to each supply would make things a shit load easier for the rest of my life, but I really can't be fucked.
If I don't do it, every job takes twice as long.
Pls halp op, adv plox
See this is where you're proving yourself to be a non plumber.
You have also shown yourself to be a potato troll.
Head pressure has nothing to do with pumps.
You are not a plumber, you are a peasant.
You're that type of kid that comes home excited because he's got the biggest dick in grade school, only to be informed by his mother that his dick is only the biggest because he's 19 years old.
Yeah, you really need to get pan screws in on that thing.
But it seems these days that nobody uses that shit, so just pull the toilet out, scrape all the crud off the floor, put the toilet back in position, trace around it with a pencil, pull the toilet out again, wet the area surrounding the pencil lines, pump a fuckton of silicone within the pencil lines, put the toilet back in, wet your finger, use it to spread out the leftover silicone neatly and then give it 24 hours to dry, you'll be fine.
I wouldn't waste your time. It's an expensive process just to save yourself the hassle of turning off a mains flow when you'd replace your tap washers, what, once every 10 years?
Not worth it, next time a tap goes, shut your water off, replace ALL the tap washers and don't worry about it for another 10 years.
Kiddo, a VB prevents siphoning on a pressurized line (potable water). Waste lines have traps (stops sewer gas) which is why sewage can and will back up into tubs and sinks when blocked.
And no plumbing slope is that severe for a geyser.
You know nothing. Just stop. It's pathetic.
>so just pull the toilet out
This is already too advanced for me, I am a literal retard. I'll call my landlord and have them fix it, it seems a lot more difficult than I thought. Thank you for the reply!
>not knowing how to replace a flange and brass bolts
Kys plumber
Have you ever intentionally fucked over a client?
>angle stops are expensive with compression fittings that require no sweating
Kys plumber
You silly little child.
You obviously did not read the post.
We were talking about a SEWER line here.
Sewer lines are not PRESSURISED POTABLE WATER.
Read the story, have a fucking THINK for a change, and then try again you pissant.
You really are a poor excuse for a troll.
I know how to do it.
This guy doesn't.
I figured I'd give him the fucking easy way out.
Why don't YOU fucking KYS you fucking loser.
Nah, I usually keep pretty good with my clients, but that being said, if some cunt gets dirty with me, such as not paying the agreed price, I simply never return. I can't be fucked with it. I'm cheap compared to most people, if they don't want to pay even the cheap price, they can go find another plumber. You'd be amazed how many times they beg for me to come back and I just tell them "sorry, too busy".
>straw man to distract from being busted as a fraud or illiterate abo
Kys plumber
What's the best kind of valve to regulate flow. Also, what actuator would you recommend for a fail close application in a seawater environment?
>I don't actually know what a strawman is: the post
No straw man loser.
You have been clear that you didn't read the post, by straw manning with pressurised potable water do discuss a fucking sewer line.
You are a faggot and a loser and you have proven yourself stupid.
Give up while you're behind shitstain, you're marking the floor.
Your flow regulators are generally generic. Pressure Limiting Valves etc.
Also I don't work in seawater environments so I can't answer that question.
Sealing a toilet that will leak into the subfloor with every flush because the wax ring is shot is good advice??? Sealing up a leak???
Kys plumber
Bro how do you feel about composting toilets? Anyway to make them work?
It was clearly stating your ongoing incorrect terms and claims as a fake plumber. Even I got that.
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Itt: Kid who has probably done a preapp trying to keep up with Plum/b/user.
Give up dildo. None of this will bring daddy back.
They're fine man. I know a couple who has one inside the hall they live in, and they have no issue with smell.
Rocky toilet guy here! It isn't leaking, they literally just replaced the toilet and the wax ring like a month ago, I guess it just wasn't leveled properly so it moves
will anything bad happen if I use a standard gate valve to regulate the flow from a bore pump
Oh fuck off loser. None of my terms have been incorrect.
If you weren't such a rednecked fucking hick amerifat who is so bucktoothed he can eat watermelon through a fucking picket fence, you'd understand there are OTHER countries out there, and they have DIFFERENT words for DIFFERENT THINGS.
Aussie masterrace reporting in you fucking sister fucking hillbilly.

OP, have you ever fucked a girl with a broken sink? seen it several times "for science", want to know if its true
Don't bother, rocky toilet guy.
That faganon is just a troll who literally knows nothing about plumbing.
>been busted for knowing nothing of plumbing
>calling names and insulting will prove me right
Kys plumber
Depends on the pump. If it's designed to pump out pressure at 1000kpa and you're restricting it down to 10kpa it's going to wear itself thin.
If you're restricting it to 700kpa or even 500, it shouldn't be too much of a drama, but remember that any modifications you make to pump systems that are not authorised by the manufacturer will void your warranty.
reward with tits.
Plumbanon brings the smackdown.

Closest I came was a story above, but here's a little snippet from a bloke I knew who we'll call dickhead.

Nobody believes you.
Wouldn't rubber or latex sex toys melt in the dishwasher?

im not a complete idiot and have tools i can use

Yeah, none of his story seemed realistic bro.

...
They lose their effectiveness after about 6 cables. Too heavy to spin properly
Easy as faggot.
Turn off the water, put a tee piece on your cold inlet, add a washing machine stop.
In order to run the waste pipe, there's a nipple on your waste trap, just drill a hole through it and attach.
Piss easy.
...
The pump.
It will be churning really hard trying to push more pressure through than is allowed by the restrictor.
That being said if it's a mains pressure water pipe to the house, it will most likely have it's own shutoff pressure in which case it will cause the thing to cut in and out in ridiculous ways really fucking with your water pressure.
thanks bitch, love you
seriously, a residential plumber?? a turd chaser? if you wan't to ask something, ask a commercial plumber. we put the pipe in before people shit in it
...
why do women absolutely trash their bathrooms?
while men usually leave them okay?
why didnt you do a real trade?
Nah, dick's too small.
Not really. Either it's well varnished or tiled over.
If it's neither, then yeah, it's stupid.
Depends on your machine bro. Mine still works at 8 cables but it struggles.
Whereas my mate has a 1970's version that can run 15 cables. No joke.
because they are women. next question
